According to Antonio Damasio, "emotions play a central role in social cognition and decision-making." Indeed, the range of human responses across the affective domain play key roles; learning is not simply about knowledge and cognition (cognitive psychologists take note!). "Damasio's important insight is that emotion, although pushed to the side as an object of scientific study, is always in the loop of reason. When we think emotions and reason are enmeshed. It not only regulates our lives, it regulates learning." Image from Domasio's TED talk.
